Media Advisory - Manning Foundation for Democratic Education to Host Senate Reform Symposium
CALGARY, Oct. 24, 2013 /CNW/ - The Senate reform movement is at a crossroads. It has been almost 30 years since Western reformers forced the Triple E Senate—Equal, Elected and Effective—onto Canada's political agenda. Many "Small-c" conservatives are wondering if it is time to change strategies, and there are at least a half-a-dozen options on the table. In short, it is time to assess where we have been, where we are and where we are headed.
The Manning Foundation for Democratic Education has assembled a blue-ribbon panel of experts to address this timely and important topic.
Discussants will include:
- Preston Manning
- The Honourable Pierre Poilievre
- The Honourable Dan Hays
- Dr. Tom Flanagan,
- Dr. Roger Gibbins
- Scott Hennig
- Dr. Peter McCormick
- Link Byfield
- Senator Thomas Johnson McInnis (Nova Scotia)
- Senator Bob Runciman (Ontario) and,
- Alberta-elected Senators Doug Black, Betty Unger, and Scott Tannas.
WHAT: | Full-day, blue-ribbon symposium on Senate Reform | |
WHEN: | October 31st, 2013 | |
WHERE: | Manning Centre, 514 - 11th Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta | |
